FCIDD Nonprofit Project Grants — October 2026 Disability, School & Equipment Cycle
FCIDD is accepting October 2026 nonprofit project grant applications from organizations serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across its published 15-state service area, including Maine. Typical requests and awards range from $5,000-$100,000, with pathways for equipment, accessibility, I/DD-serving educational spaces, program improvements and training. Official FCIDD pages conflict on the October 1 closing time: the detailed grants page states 11:59 p.m., while the homepage states 5:00 p.m.; neither states a time zone. Atlas is holding this record in Draft until FCIDD authoritatively resolves the closing time and time zone. October applicants also require a participating Civitan Club sponsor.

Required next actionVERIFICATION HOLD. Preserve this canonical opportunity in Draft until FCIDD authoritatively resolves the conflicting October 1, 2026 closing times and the controlling time zone. October applicants require sponsorship by a participating Civitan Club. Do not publish, score, initiate applicant outreach, route applicant work, or create a duplicate record until exact deadline control is verified.
Broad Eligibility
Nonprofit organizations whose primary purpose or proposed project supports individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities in FCIDD's published service area: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. A participating Civitan Club sponsor is required for the October and March rounds; the July round does not require club sponsorship. A published club listing does not establish applicant-specific sponsorship.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas scoring is withheld pending authoritative resolution of FCIDD's conflicting October 1, 2026 closing times and the missing time zone. FCIDD's current detailed grant page states 11:59 p.m., while the homepage states 5:00 p.m.; the October cycle requires a participating Civitan Club sponsor. Potential equipment, accessibility, school-program, and training relevance should not be scored or acted on until deadline control is resolved.
Opportunity Overview
The Foundation for Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (FCIDD) accepts nonprofit project grant applications from I/DD-serving nonprofits across its published 15-state service area, which expressly includes West Virginia. The October 2026 round is currently open. FCIDD’s official sources conflict on the October 1 closing time: the detailed Nonprofit Project Grants page states 11:59 p.m., while the FCIDD homepage states 5:00 p.m.. Neither official source states a time zone. Atlas is therefore holding this opportunity in Draft until the exact closing time and time zone can be authoritatively resolved.
Funding and October Gate
FCIDD states that typical requests and awards fall between $5,000 and $100,000, although all request sizes are considered and awards depend on the Foundation’s annual budget.
The October round requires sponsorship by a participating Civitan Club. The nonprofit begins the online application and the sponsoring club completes its required support step. A published club listing establishes only a potential sponsor pathway, not applicant-specific sponsorship.
Eligible Projects
FCIDD’s published categories include accessibility and engagement projects, I/DD-serving educational spaces, program-area improvements, equipment and resource purchases, and outreach or education activities such as training, scholarships, seminars, and events. FCIDD also states that grants may support training personnel involved in the care and education of people with developmental or intellectual disabilities. Routine office supplies, advertising, administrative fees, recurring payroll, rent, mortgages, utilities, regular property maintenance, and ordinary compliance or licensure training are generally excluded, subject to FCIDD’s current rules and any approved exception.
Who Can Apply
The program is designed for nonprofit organizations whose primary purpose or proposed project supports individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities in FCIDD’s published service area, including West Virginia. For the October and March rounds, a participating Civitan Club sponsor is required. The July round does not require club sponsorship.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: withheld pending deadline verification. The underlying program has potential disability-health, school, and equipment relevance, but the opportunity remains on verification hold until the exact closing time and time zone are authoritatively resolved.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: not scored while deadline verification is unresolved. Equipment and accessibility improvements are expressly eligible, but connected clinical exam systems or telehealth hardware are not specifically identified as preferred uses. Any later equipment concept must remain applicant-led, disability-relevant, and clearly justified.
QC Healthcare Fit: not scored while deadline verification is unresolved. Training personnel in the care of people with I/DD may be supportable, but this is not a physician-staffing or clinical-coverage procurement.
